I update whichever dist I am running daily so my release is contemporaneous with these notes.
I have been running Mobian predominantly the past 10 days which has reminded me of some points I missed in my initial post in this thread. As before my vote remains with Mobian and I can only compare Arch:
1) Sound in Mobian I have no problems with - in Arch lollypop hiccups then crashes and broadly cannot play a song. (mpv hiccups and continues)
2) Mobian encrypted disk has been fault free for me since I installed it - f2fs in Arch is fine
3) LED indicators (well flashing blue for incoming messages etc) work OOB in Mobian - in Arch I had to setup after each boot and last I looked seem to have broken (I was setting a flash for eMMC activity, couldn't find the way to get it for incoming messages)
4) Arch has an intermittent freeze problem that seems to be triggered when plugging in/out the charger cable, depending on the state of the screenlock at the time (but I am really not sure and can't reproduce it at will) - I don't have this kind of issue on Mobian.)
